Always follow operaonal warnings and check-list before operang!
1.) Setup
Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the OPERATOR ZONE (see below diagram). Keep
everyone out of the operator zone while operang the log splier. ALWAYS set up a SAFETY ZONE restricng
onlookers to at least 3 meters away from the log splier when in use.
2.) Unhook the Lifting Table (11) and carefully lower it to the ground.
3.) Start the Engine (4) by using the following instrucons:
a) Turn the engine switch to 'ON' position.
b) Slide the choke lever away from the fuel tank to activate the choke.
c) Turn the fuel tap on.
d) Raise the Throttle by sliding the throttle lever away from the fuel tank. Use between 25 to 50% throttle
when starting.
e) Pull the starter cord handle lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.
f) When the engine starts to run, deactivate the choke by sliding the lever towards the fuel tank.
g) Once the engine is running adjust the full throttle to 75% when using the machine.
4.) Carefully place a log on the Lifting Table (11). Maximum length of the log suitable for the logsplitter is 60cm.
5.) Push and hold the Control Valve Lever (7) downward. This will lift the Lifting Table (11) upward, allowing you to easily
roll the log on to the Splitting Bed (10). Once the log is in place and ready for splitting, push and hold the Control Valve
Lever (7) upward.

6.) Now, start the splitting procedure by pushing and holding the Control Valve Lever (7) downward. Please note the
Splitter Wedge (8) only moves down when you are holding the lever downward. When you let go of the Control Valve
Lever (7) the Splitting Wedge (8) stops immediately for safety reasons.
7.) To return the Splitting Wedge (8) to its starting position, simply pull the Control ValveLever (7) upwards. This
will also move the Lifting Table (11) downward, allowing you to roll a log on it again. Please note the Splitting
Wedge (8) returns back to the original starting position automatically after the Control Valve Lever (7) is
returned to its neutral position. Also note that for safety reasons, the Splitting Wedge (8) stops approx. 3-4cm
from the Splitting Bed (10).
8.) Repeat the above steps as required.
